Not bad, at least bow legged is better than semi-sprawling for the front
limbs.  Even some recent animations show ceratopsians with
semi-sprawling front limbs.

I've always been puzzled by this because I always thought that full
erect gait was one of the defining characteristics of dinosaurs.  It
seems to me that erect front limbs would be the best way to support the
weight of all that head!
